4. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that he
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.74805 of 2025(2) dt.19-11-2025 2/3 has no role to play in the matter, only because the motorcycle which he owns was parked near the house of the main culprit, Asraful, got implicated, he has no criminal antecedent.
5. Learned APP for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail submitting that when the raid took place, his motorcycle was parked there.
